Velvet Chain is a bi-coastal alternative rock band whose sound features a mixture of trip hop , rock , and pop , with a jazz/funk flavor.[1] (The band has sometimes been known to refer to their work as "space-jazz" or "moody groove music" - which is also the title of one of their albums.)
Velvet Chain was formed in 1993 by Jeff Stacy (legal name “Jeffrey Calamusa”)[2] (formerly of “Heat Your Shack” and “Tunnelmental ”) and Erika Amato , the creative core of the band.
They found mainstream attention after they appeared on an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , ("Never Kill A Boy On The First Date") and later had a song included in the show's soundtrack .
Their music has also been used on other TV shows, including HBO's Sex and the City , MTV's Road Rules , CBS's Beverly Hills, 90210 and ABC's Big Shots .[3]
The band last played live in 2007. Core founding members Jeff Stacy (Jeffrey Calamusa) and Erika Amato were working on a new album before Jeff's untimely death in August 2020.[4] Erika is continuing to work on the album and plans to release it at a later date.
